Book Reviews // Tolkien Dictionary

When I started my blog my original ideas for it was to do movie and book reviews. That didn't work out to great. :) Well, I'm trying to change that. Today I am doing a review.




These are not a "traditional" books that I chose to do. It is Tolkien A Dictionary and An Atlas of Tolkien. (Please note these are unofficial guides.)

Tolkien A Dictionary
This book has everything Tolkien created in Middle Earth and the Undying Lands. From people to places and everything in between. It is arranged in A-Z format like a regular dictionary. It's even illustrated.

An Atlas of Tolkien
This is not a map atlas. It has all of the Middle Earth and Undying Lands history. It's laid out in chronological order and has colored illustrations.


If you enjoyed The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings or even Tolkien in general I would recommend these. They are great for learning more in-depth about Middle Earth. I throughly enjoyed reading them.

Until next Friday,
Jonathan

Highlighting March.

Image
Wow! March has already marched on. *plays "Imperial March" in the background*  I decided to post about my highlights of March. Here are some of my highlights of this month. Track started!! I decided on a beginning for my book.  We celebrated my brother James' birthday.   We got some new chicks. I got glasses. That actually happened in February though. I found a new (to me) author. His name is Wayne Thomas Batson. These are the books I read this month. "The Magician's Nephew" by C. S. Lewis "The Last Ride" by Susan K. Marlow (For the record my sister and I traded books and this is the one I got. Otherwise I wouldn't have read it.) "An Acceptable Time" by Madeline L'Engle (I haven't finished this one yet.)  I listened to some awesome music this month. Here's some of my favorites.    "My Religion" by Skillet (This song is AWESOME.) "Alone" by Hollyn "The River"

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review!!!

Image
       It has been thirty years since the destruction of the Empire. The First Order is trying to take control of the galaxy. The only thing standing there way is a small band of Resistance fighters, a scavenger, An ex-soldier, and a pilot. Sex- none Drugs- none Language- 1 D*mn, 1 H*ll, 1H*ll no Nudity- none Violence- Spaceships explode, characters are shot with blasters and punched, cut and stabbed with lightsabers.        Character is shocked. Several explosions.       First of all I want to say this movie is AWSOME!!! I liked that they had the original actors. I also really like the new actors. The action and humor was really good. I do wish that it had more space battles, but the spaceship battles they had were good.       A lot of people I know think Kylo Ren should have kept his helmet or should have been played by a different person. They did not like the actor. I on the other hand thought he was a little young, but other than that I tho
